Mumbai police to get custom Royal Enfield...

Royal Enfield was a part of the Mumbai police motorcade years ago. It got replaced by the more ‘practical and modern bikes’ like the Bajaj Pulsar, Bajaj Avenger and TVS Apache among others. The reason for removing the Royal Enfield from the Mumbai Police fleet was the odd braking and gear-shifting layout, high maintenance costs, low mileage and unreliable after-sales service. Now, the company has revamped itself and has upped its game. The products are more reliable and practical, maintaining the old school charm at the same time.

The Mumbai police will not settle for regular Royal Enfield motorcycles, they will get it in a customized avatar. The job for customizing the fleet of Royal Enfields for the Mumbai police was given to Gabriel Zuzarte, founder of Road Rage Custom Builds. Gabriel has built a prototype police bike years ago, but that never made it to the fleet.

The customized bike is all set to get a large windshield made of fiber, an array of blue and white LED lights, a public address system, crash guard and two utility boxes. The bike looks classy and at the same time has practical utility.

We definitely hope to see these on the streets.
